Background documentationRecord Type D1: Discounts

 

This is the same as record type D: Discounts, except that they are prorated discounts broken down from transaction level discounts, and are positioned following the items they apply to. This feature is turned on by setting LOGDISCOUNTFORITEM in the POS.ini file to one of the following:

  • 0 — Discount is not prorated. No D1 records will be produced.

  • 1 — Discount is prorated; print only the prorated discount line on receipt. D1 records will be produced for each item that received some of a transaction discount.

  • 2 — Discount is prorated; print only the total discount line on receipt. Only the D record will be produced.

  • 3 — Discount is prorated; print all discount lines on receipt. Both D1 records and a D record will be produce for a transaction discount

Example Example

If there are four discountable items in a transaction, the transaction discount (type D), if any, is then broken down to four prorated discount records (D1), each of them following the item that it applies.

End of the example.
